CNN plans to offer a new edition on Discover every 24 hours with “five or more global news stories,” according to a company announcement.
Each story will be headlined by a top Snap – a ten-second video or animated teaser. Users can swipe up for more in-depth reporting or swipe left to the next story. When a user completes an edition, channel colors invert. CNN’s logo will return to full color when new content becomes available.
ESPN will also publish a daily edition with 5-10 stories per day, with content from SportsCenter, according to a company spokesperson. The first edition includes highlights, ranking features and a 160-second summary of the NFL season.
